Will we ever see larger sensors in phones with a reasonable number of megapixels?

Unfortunately it seems we have entered an era megapixel wars.

While having a large number of megapixels is great for marketing, it results in tiny photosites and hurts low light performance.

Pixel binning, while great in theory, is not efficient enough in real world usage.

If Samsung had instead chose 12mp instead of 108mp for its 1/1.33" sensor, it would get similar image quality to an rx100 cropped down from 20mp to 12mp.


EDIT> Here is an example of the power of large pixels. This is from...

If you keep your phones for 2+ years, don't get an OLED screen.

So this may be an unpopular opinion, but if you are like me and want to keep your phones for many years, get a phone with an IPS screen. The majority of OLED screens will start getting burn in after about 2 years (even if you are conscious about them and take special care of them, which is a pain in the ass). Most phones' warranties end after 2 years so your only option will be to replace it and OLED screens are very expensive, so replacing your phone will make more sense then. An IPS screen is ...
